Full Moon June 2026: When to See the ‘Strawberry Micromoon’ Rise

The Strawberry Moon will reach full phase on June 29, 2026, and it will be a micromoon because it occurs just after apogee.

It will be the lowest full moon of 2026 in the Northern Hemisphere, making it appear especially low in the sky.

The best time to view it is at moonrise in the southeastern sky at dusk, when the moon illusion can make it look larger and more dramatic.

Astronomers and skywatchers in places like New York City and Los Angeles are expected to get a striking view, weather permitting.
